LOS ANGELES, Calif. --
A number of Hollywood’s marvelous men stepped out on Wednesday night at the GQ Men of the Year party in Los Angeles, where they weighed in to Access Hollywood on who they’d choose for their Woman of the Year.
“I’d choose Michelle Obama,” Neil Patrick Harris, who was honored as Trailblazer of the Year by the mag, told Access. “She’s able to be both wildly classy and completely accessible as a First Lady. It feels like she’s talking to you and not at you. I drank the Kool-Aid, I’m a huge fan of hers.”
The former Emmy Awards host also had kind words for next year’s Oscar hosting duo, Alec Baldwin and Steve Martin.
“Steve and Alec are both terrifically funny guys,” he said. “I think they share a sense of humor so I think they’ll be able to play off each other well. [It’ll] be a nice match.”
But Neil wasn’t the only Michelle Obama fan – J.J. Abrams endorsed her as well.
“I have to go with Michelle Obama. Although I must tell you — who’s better than Tina Fey? Michelle Obama,” he joked. “I think the two of them doing a mutual acceptance speech together would be awesome.”
The producer/director also discussed a few of the projects he has in the works, including the sequel to this summer’s “Star Trek.”
“We’re working on a ‘Star Trek’ idea, we have a ‘Mission Impossible’ thing, I’m writing something, there’s a TV show we’re doing next year for NBC, a comedy show about a couple that are spies. But I’m excited to start talking about the ‘Star Trek’ sequel,” he said. “We have some fun ideas that are demanding. They’re big ones.”
Access also caught up with Clint Eastwood, GQ’s Badass of the Year, who had another female in mind for Woman of the Year.
“I’d pick Taylor Swift,” Clint said, with his wife, Dina, adding that their daughters were fans of the country star.
However, Dina and Clint had a difference of opinion when it came to his GQ cover, in which he’s pictured wearing jeans and a denim shirt.
“It looked like a serial killer,” Clint said of his cover.
“[It’s] pretty good looking!” Dina asserted. “Why don’t you ever wear jeans at home?”
